Rechargion Energy, established in 2021 in Pune, India, specializes in developing sustainable and cost-effective energy storage solutions. As a deeptech startup, the company focuses on creating next-generation rechargeable batteries, particularly Sodium-ion (Na-ion) and Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) technologies. Their mission centers on producing commercially viable, patent-protected battery solutions that address the growing demands of energy storage while maintaining environmental responsibility. The company’s framework emphasizes “Energy for Mobility and Stationary Storage,” demonstrating their dedication to advancing sustainable energy solutions across multiple applications.
Battery Technology
Rechargion’s technological portfolio centers on two innovative battery solutions. Their Sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries present an alternative to traditional lithium-ion systems, offering advantages such as faster charging capabilities and improved performance across wider temperature ranges. The technology incorporates a proprietary hard carbon anode and symmetrical aluminum current collector design, enabling excellent energy storage performance while supporting domestic supply chain development.
The company’s second focus area, Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries, promises enhanced energy density using sulfur, an abundant and environmentally compatible material. This technology shows particular promise for aviation and space exploration applications, where high energy density is essential.
Recent Projects
In their most recent developments, Rechargion successfully demonstrated their Na-ion battery technology in small drone applications, showcasing the potential for aerial mobility solutions. The company employs a ‘powder-to-pouch cell’ approach, manufacturing both anode and cathode materials while fabricating pouch cells in their pilot facilities.
Additionally, Rechargion formed a significant partnership with the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) to advance safer Na-ion battery solutions. The company also participated in the UK-India Tech Start-up Accelerator program, expanding their international presence and access to investment opportunities.
